Sidoti: ‘The Israeli Army is One of The Most Criminal Armies in The World’

Chris Sidoti is a of the members of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, speaking on the sidelines of the Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva. The Committee headed by Navi Pillay, was presenting its findings to the UN Council, Wednesday, 19 June, 2024 and looked on the legality of the Israeli army’s conduct in Gaza. He said:

“…You mention the Israeli army is the most moral army in the world. I mean this is something that is said repeatedly by the current prime minister of Israel, [Benjamin] Netanyahu. On one recent occasion, he walked it back a bit and he said one of the most moral armies in the world.”

Now I don’t have the expertise and I don’t have the authority to make assessments of morality. Netanyahu may, but I don’t.

…I don’t know whether its’s one of the most moral armies in the world or not but what I do have expertise in, and what I do have an authority to do is make assessments of criminal conduct.

And we’ve done that in relation to the recent events and you can see that in the report. And the only conclusion you can draw is that the Israeli army is one of the most criminal armies in the world,” he concluded.

Iran on Feb. 28 launched missiles and drones toward Israel and Gulf countries that are home to US military assets. Some of the attacks have caused casualties and damage to civilian sites, including ports and residential buildings.
